Just days after Andrew Carroll’s opponent for state house, Cynthia Chase, posted a letter “outing” Andrew, another letter appears, written by Scott Chase. Scott desperately attempts to paint the mild-mannered Andrew Carroll as a scoundrel and a man of disrepute, because he’s one of “those people”:
The United States Constitution guarantees the right of citizens to vote for their elected officials, be they Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Free Staters, the Green Party, or any other.
I find it appalling that during this midterm election campaign there are Free Staters and Libertarians running for office in New Hampshire who are so ashamed of their political convictions that they are masquerading as Republicans or Democrats.
Their objective is to fool the voters, get themselves elected, and pursue their own agenda.
It should be obvious that anyone unwilling to stand up for his or her own convictions is up to no good. (more…)

I have recently deleted several posts for name-stealing and spam, I will continue to do this so long as I have the capability to moderate the comments. It was amusing how quickly individuals sought to blame and condemn Ian Freeman for the moderation. As if he is the great boogieman of our time. This has become typical with recent events, most notably the drinking game, and how people are so quick to generalize.
Sure Ian, Sam, Heika and a few others caused a stir, made some news and quickly became the appointed figureheads of the Free State Project in the eyes of so many. Indeed, branded the leaders! How laughable.
Condemning all as you would condemn one, casting all the individuals with all their diversity into one lot and then crucifying the whole. This is ignorant and foolish. It is this type of thinking that has helped justify segregation, slavery and genocide. Are you no better than those of the 19th century?

How can you counteract the Andrew Carroll haters during tomorrow’s primary election? If you vote in Keene and are a Democrat, cast your ballot for Andrew Carroll and no one else. (Unless you really like one of the other Democrat candidates.) This will allow Andrew to accumulate votes without the others accumulating votes. There are 8 candidates running for 7 seats, so all Andrew has to do to make it to the general election is beat one of his seven competitors. Voters are allowed to vote for seven candidates, but you don’t have to. Not voting for the others will avoid inflating their totals, making it harder for them to beat Andrew.
Remember, if you are an Undeclared voter, you can declare as a Democrat for this vote, and then go back to Undeclared when you leave. If you are not registered to vote, you can do so the day-of the election. Go here to find out where your ward is, and then visit the ward tomorrow to get registered and vote.
Good luck Andrew – the establishment is scared to death that you might just make it past the primary. They’ve been calling local talk radio, writing letters to the editor, and emailing to discourage people from voting for Andrew. They are desperate!

Here’s a positive letter regarding Andrew Carroll’s run for office that was printed in Sunday’s Sentinel:
Have you met the fine young man Andrew Carroll?
If you don’t like the wars we are involved in and would like our troops to come home and out of harms way, no one will get them home faster or endorse polices to make that happen more than Andrew Carroll.
Vote for Andrew Carroll for representative in Tuesday’s primary vote. (more…)

Back by popular demand, the Social Sunday event is accommodating two locations at 5pm every Sunday in Keene. In addition to McCues on 12 Emerald St, a return to Vendetta, 43 Central Square, is taking place. Vendetta just offers a better selection of beers on tap featuring craft, seasonal and micro-brews from New England and beyond.
The food selection has changed to a strictly Asian style of food with a focus on Sushi; rolls and rice bowls round out the selection. Those that don’t want sushi typically eat before coming to the bar. The drink selection and quality of beers is reason enough to come to central square and enjoy a frosty one with friends.
